The Schiavona was a sword obtainable by Ezio Auditore da Firenze during the 15th and 16th centuries and Arno Dorian during the 18th century. It could be purchased from any blacksmith in Florence, Venice, Forlì, San Gimignano, or Monteriggioni.[1] During his attempt to erode the Borgia's power, Ezio could also purchase the weapon in Rome.[2] Finally, Ezio could once again acquire it in Constantinople during his search for the library of Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad.[3] Arno could adquire the Schiavona by purchasing it for 200,000 livres in France, being the most expensive sword, but also the most powerful sword alongside the Cinquedea and the Sword of Eden.

- The schiavona could be obtained in Assassin's Creed: Revelations through Uplay.
- The only difference between the Cinquedea and the Schiavona in Assassin's Creed: Unity are their appearances and looks, since their stats are identical, though the Schiavona is much more expensive than the Cinquedea.
